Weird, because my friend bought us two tickets for the north stand, and Saints rang him up and said there has been a problem with the systems reselling tickets that have already been sold, and we'd have to be relocated... When he asked for anywhere else in the north, they told him the north was completely sold out, and we had to go in the south.

That might explain why so much of the ground was showing as available when I was looking yesterday. I hope we can fill it and not have a farcical situation where thousands are double booked.

Could this be a case of the clubs selling tickets manually and electronically, but neither system updating the other. So double booking occurs.

Surely they got over that hiccup with the first match?

Wouldn't be a major problem if Saints managed to build up a decent lead by half time. At least they'd all get to come in for the 2nd half...

I've just had a play around and you can get a block of 20 seats in any stand bar the East Stand still.

Block H of the North Stand is almost completely empty, as are blocks A, G & H of the South Stand. There West Stand is also almost completely empty (I assume Wigan haven't been given the whole stand allocation?).

Come on people, buy your tickets!

Don't know where you get that from - they have decamped several hundred of us from the north stand to the south stand in blocks G&H to make way for sky flippin 3d cameras. There is very little by way of spare seats in those blocks.

Sorry that should have read E block in the south stand. On line only A&G blocks in the south stand with any numbers of seats left.
